Tring - how to get there
By train
Tring railway station is about a mile south-east of Tring, in a village called 'Tring Station'.
Tring is on the West Coast Main Line railway between London Euston and the North West.
Express trains do not stop there - the nearest stations served by Virgin West Coast services are Watford Junction to the south, or Milton Keynes to the north.
London Midland, running between London Euston and Birmingham, serve Tring Station, though not all their trains stop there.
There is a local bus service between Tring Station and Tring, but it is infrequent except during the morning and evening peak commuting period. There are taxis at the station.
South Central Trains run a train service from Gatwick, round the west of London via Kensington Olympia, to Watford where you can change for Tring.
Aylesbury and Wendover to the west have railway stations served by Chiltern Railways which run out of London Marylebone. The Chiltern services interconnect with the Metropolitan Line of the London Underground at Amersham and Harrow-on-the-Hill.

By bus
Most buses through Tring run along the A4251, (the old A41), joining Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, Tring and Aylesbury. There is also an hourly service to Luton and Dunstable. The Arriva (Redline) 164 service runs from Leighton Buzzard to Tring. There are practically no direct buses to Chesham or Wendover - you would have to change at Hemel Hempstead or Aylesbury.

By car
The A41 is now dual-carriageway between Tring and the M25, junction 20.
If coming from the Midlands, leave the M40 at juncion 9 - Bicester - and come down the A41 through Aylesbury.
From the west, if you don't fancy the M25 and are a good map reader, there is a good (and scenic) route below the north escarpment of the Chilterns joining Reading, Nettlebed, Watlington, Chinnor, and Wendover.
From the east there is a route from the M1 at junction 11 through Dunstable.
By air
The nearest airport is Luton; the 61 bus runs from Tring to Luton Airport.
Heathrow is fairly close, and there is an air-bus between there and Hemel Hempstead or Watford.
Gatwick is the other side of London, so either travel through London by underground and get the train from Euston or catch the South Central Trains Service to Watford .
Birmingham International is on the Euston-Birmingham line, so you could get a train to Tring, changing at Milton Keynes.
